Recent xterms and similar programs (including Konsole, gnome-terminal, the Linux console, and PuTTY) can be set to accept UTF-8 even if that isn't the default, by issuing ESC % G . ESC % @ returns to the default encoding.

The luit project page doesn't offer much information on the use of this program, but I'll be examining the source code to see if it can issue ESC % G, and if not, perhaps send a patch to the maintainer. Then you won't have to do anything special with Konsole, just run luit as indicated, possibly with an extra switch.--Ray Chason 18:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
